Dental Nightmare

[Vee]

I have asked a local university for advice and received none. Perhaps
I can receive guidance here?

Please help me. I don't know where to go. While I may know how to run
a business, I have no clue when it comes to my teeth.

I contracted scarlet fever soon after birth and the medication I was
treated with was to affect the formation of my adult teeth. My parents
were told I would have false teeth by age 16. My teeth have always
been yellow, bits break and slice off all the time and by now (I'm 42)
I have almost no enamel left in my mouth at all.

To top this off, I am phobic of the dentist and all work in my mouth
has to be carried out under general anaesthetic. Eight years ago, a
dentist agreed to do some work on my mouth, including removing 4
wisdom teeth which were cramping my teeth somewhat. While I was in no
position to argue, the dentist changed the plan, removing only 3 of
the 4 wisdom teeth. The result of this is that I've had the one side
of my mouth remain cramped for the past 8 years.

I've tried to talk to dentists in the past 6 months or so, to explain
that when they 'fix' the problem with fillings, it only lasts until
the first bit of tooth breaks off - and then I live with pain and
discomfort for the next 7 or 8 years until limited food intake forces
me to go to the dentist again. They either don't or won't see my point
of view. I'm convinced they each believe I'll go back at the first
wince of an open nerve. Right now, I would say there are 2 teeth in my
mouth that do not require work of some kind.

I know there is a way for me to get rid of these teeth and to replace
them with something else. I just don't how or what or who. And so far
I haven't met a dentist who will help me to that end. I've spent so
much of my life basically traumatised by my mouth.

I can't eat without pain. I can't smile without showing unsightly
brown spots on my broken front teeth where the enamel is gone. My
teeth throb and give me headaches. They don't fit right in my mouth,
somehow.

Please help me. Tell me what to do, where to go. I can't live with
this mouth anymore.

Can you help me?

Sincerely
Vee
